West End Ale Haus

Very good food and great service. Meal came out quick, hot, and delicious. First time we were there. We went after church on Sunday.

I’m eating paleo at the moment, and they were happy to accommodate my no-​bun request. The bun-​less burger with chili really hit the spot!

Our server was polite and the food was delicious. Avg 10 $ a plate but you leave stuffed! The burgers are ale house burgers and very good! Beer prices are fair!

They don’t serve their drafts in cold glasses… the beer isn’t very cold to begin with and gets warm quickly. The food is not bad, slightly better than average for the area (where chain food is average) but nothing spectacular. The staff is friendly that’s the only thing that will keep a non college student coming back to a bar in a college town, that and the lack of alternatives. Also they never update their draft menu, twice I’ve been there and they have been out of things still on the list. What bar doesn’t have chilled glasses when they have draft beer?

After being to every bar in Bloomsburg multiple time I can hands down say this is my favorite in every way.
Starting off with the service. The bouncers are always super friendly and do their job well. Many bars in Bloomsburg are lax with checking IDs resulting in folks underage in their bars drinking. As a senior it is not ideal to be surrounded by underagers in the bar illegally. West End bouncers and bar tenders know their stuff when checking IDs and ensure that this does not happen. Food and beverage service is speedy, even on busy nights.
The bar is fully stocked with every drink you can imagine. West End also has unbelievable drink specials. My personal favorite is Sunday $ 1 well drinks. Everyday other than Sunday they have $ 2 well drinks all day/​night. Once a month they host a «tap takeover» where a specific beer company comes in with kegs and a limited amount of free tickets are handed out to come enjoy the event. I was able to make it to the April tap takeover and can say it is a huge benefit to the establishment making it a way to get newcomers into this new bar (just opened a little over a year ago). Tap takeover consists of all you can drink and eat! Totally free! On Monday nights during football season they have beer specials along with free giveaways such as jerseys for guesting the end score of the game.
The food is AMAZING! If I had to eat at West End every day for the rest of my college career I wouldn’t complain. They have awesome wing specials on Wednesday nights. The red, white, and blue wings are to die for. Their grilled cheese and burgers are also fabulous. Sandwiches come with your choice of fries or a side salad. They also have large entrée salad options available for meals. I’ve never ate anything here that I did not enjoy.
Overall I would say it’s a great bar with a fun yet relaxed atmosphere. There is darts, pool, jute box, and two bars. There is also the middle dining room area where you can chose to dime in a booth. Always very clean. 2 bathroom stalls in the female bathroom. Make sure to close your tab! A fee is charged if you do not.

I’m a vegetarian and it’s very hard to get a good vegetarian meal at a pub, but the veggie wrap was my favorite veggie wrap I’ve ever had anywhere!

We ordered deep fried bacon (not on the menu), and it was delicious!
A side of bacon is three strips.

Went in today and got the buffalo dip, the wings, and 2 burgers, and honestly was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Everything that was ordered was great. Will definitely be back.

Great beer, great food. Bartender is knowledgable and friendly. Excellent atmosphere and sizable dance floor. A little loud with live music otherwise I’d give 5 stars.

$ 2 Mixed Drinks.
Do I need to continue? Yes.
West End Ale Haus is the combination of two formerly separate businesses. The result is a large venue with three distinct sections (East and West bar, and a dining room). With ample space, good weekly deals on drinks, and a high variety menu, West End is one of my favorite bars in the whole area. In fact it was its opening that prompted me to return to a «bar scene,» and is now my designated regular place for drinking out.
In my experiences there, the serving staff is typically on-​task and attentive even during busy times. The menu has options ranging from small snack fare to full meal, and the prices won’t break your bank.
Pool tables, frequent events, and the weekly tap takeover (on and off) help spice things up.
With the possible exception of Filet 18 (see review), West End Ale Haus presents the best bar option in the downtown Bloomsburg area.
